Increase your storage capacity with the high-speed 24TB Mercury Elite Pro USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive from OWC. Inside the rugged aluminum enclosure, which provides both efficient heat dissipation and aesthetic style, is a 24TB 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" hard drive that allows you to back up important files, clear space from your internal drives, and work on large projects that can be transported to other computer systems. The Mercury Elite Pro connects to your computer or gaming console's USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port using the included USB-B to USB-A cable for read speeds of up to 307 MB/s, write speeds of up to 305 MB/s, and supports backup applications such as Apple Time Machine and Windows File History for regularly scheduled backups. Its compact, shock-resistant enclosure also allows you to easily store the drive in a bag or backpack to quickly take on-the-go.
For Your Ever-Growing Data Collections
The OWC Mercury Elite Pro provides creative pros, small office/home office users, and families up to 24TB of space for all their digital files. From photos, music, and videos to presentations, reports, record-keeping, and correspondence, the Mercury Elite Pro provides access to all your data in one desktop-sized drive.
Put It to Work
The Mercury Elite Pro is up to just about any data-storage task with its rugged, solid aluminum enclosure and high-performance 3.5" 7200 rpm hard drive. It can be used for a variety of personal and business needs including:
- Pro-level video editing projects
- Time Machine and File History backups of important business data and irreplaceable personal photos
- Consolidating files from multiple smaller drives to a single location for faster, more convenient access
- Migrating data from an existing machine to a new computer
- Expanding game storage of console gaming systems
- Freeing up space on a computer's internal drive to improve performance
Ready to Play
The Mercury Elite Pro isn't just all work and no play. Besides saving and backing up computer data or functioning as a workhorse drive on set or in the edit suite, it can be used to watch videos, listen to music, and view pictures, either through your gaming console or when directly connected to your Smart TV.
Free Up Your Game Console
With their realism and high-res assets, modern games have grown to an average install size of 40GB per game. That means the PS4 and Xbox One's standard 500GB internal drive will only hold 12 "regular" games-leaving gamers with fewer game choices and playing on consoles stuffed to their storage limits. With the Mercury Elite Pro you can free up your game console with external storage up to 24TB. Just 1TB of extra storage capacity gives you enough space for 24 average-sized games. Plus, with more room on your console you can avoid load, play, and save delays caused by lack of storage space.
Purposefully Designed
Offering an ideal blend of form and function, the Mercury Elite Pro's fanless brushed aluminum chassis provides maximum heat dissipation to run quietly cool while the shock isolation design keeps the drive-and your data-safe and protected. The Mercury Elite Pro fits discreetly on any desktop with the included vertical orientation stand or can be placed horizontally with the included non-skid rubber feet. You can even stack multiple units to create a high-capacity "tower of power."
Store from Minutes to Millions
All the features and "technospeak" of an external drive don't mean a thing without real-world examples of the files you know. Let's break it down and see how much space a single terabyte offers.
